In response to an e-mail asking for info about A Thomas Jefferson Education.
Actually my youngest is still in Love of Learning Phase and slowly moving into Project Scholar. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the conference. My dh and a friend both remarked last summer that A Thomas Jefferson Education is not well written. It is written on a very easy reading level. What I have learned is to take what I can from sources and apply them in the best way I can to our homeschool. I like the ideas of mentoring, reading classics, reading journals and getting off the conveyor belt. I do not let my kids choose everything they will study because there are some things they must go through because I (their parental authority) believe it is best for them. One of those is Gileskirk and the other is their Great Books class with Wes Callihan (listening to the class right now). I do let them make some choices in their studies in hopes of them remembering and enjoying it more.
Blessings,
Kerry
